AJA Video Systems has announced the addition of the Corvid HB-R,
Corvid 44 BNC and fanless versions of its Corvid 44 and Corvid 88 cards
to its family of Developer Program solutions. The company also unveiled
support for Corvid HB-R and Corvid HEVC on standard Linux drivers, which
will enable developer partners to rapidly build and deploy solutions for
an expanded range of environments without the use of AJA's SDK.

Corvid HB-R is a PCIe card with an HDBaseT input that supports
HDBaseT devices seamlessly including AJA's new RovoCam compact
UltraHD/HD block camera. Designed for desktops and servers, the 4-lane
PCIe 2.0 card offers an HDBaseT input; support for 8 channel embedded
audio and 2 channel discrete RovoCam microphone audio; one USB for
firmware updates and additional control; VISCA camera control; and an
HDMI output for local monitoring. Corvid HB-R can also supply up to 12
watts of power to the connected HDBaseT device via "Power over
HDBaseT."

"We've been working closely with developer partners to
ensure our solutions meet the diverse needs of the applications
they're producing for customers, and these new cards, along with
our support of V4L2 and GStreamer drivers, are a direct reflection of
those efforts," said AJA Video Systems President Nick Rashby.

Software Support

AJA is also enabling professional video I/O for developer partners
creating Linux-based applications with the Video for Linux Two (V4L2)
API via V4L2 driver support for the Corvid HB-R, and the GStreamer
multimedia framework via GStreamer driver support for Corvid HEVC, with
additional developer cards to be supported in the future.
